➢ SUMMARY

• In today’s busy schedule, people usually tend to miss out on important


tasks. Reminder helps the user to keep track of tasks.
• The tasks can be broadly classified into two categories: (1) Time based
tasks (2) Place based tasks

• Time based tasks: These are those tasks which need to be carried out at
a specific time. For e.g. Taking medicine at 8 a.m. every day. To remind
ourselves of this kind of tasks, we can set an alarm with a reminder at the
specific time.
• Location based tasks: These are those tasks which need to be
performed at a specific location. For e.g. You have to buy grocery at the
convenient store nearest to your home while returning from the workplace.
• In such case, setting an alarm triggered by time may not be
appropriate if you are not sure when you will be passing by the
convenient store. This motivates us to use a place reminder.
That is, in the above scenario, we would like the alarm to beep
and show a reminder when we are getting close to the
convenient store.
➢INTRODUCTION

▪ Scheduling and managing tasks has become an essential thing in


today’s life. Usually, reminders available in mobile phones are triggered
by date and time. But, in many situations, tasks need to be performed
based on the location. Place Reminder (or Location Based Task
Reminder) gives alert when the user enters into the specified
geographical region. It allows the user to create reminders based on the
location. This application works on smart phones and tablets and tracks
user’s current location with the help of GPS.
➢REAL WORLD SITUATIONS

1. Some people tend to forget things when they go to office or school.


2. A person went to office and thought of doing some work at home when he returns to
home.
3. Person may like to purchase a birthday gift the next time when he is at gift shop.
4. A person went to the grocery store from home and forgot to bring a list of items which
he had written on a piece of paper.
5. When people go on holiday, they forget to visit places.

• It is desired that there should be a reminder system or application to automatically remind


people the tasks they might have forgotten. Place Reminder resolves all such situations by
giving beep/message whenever user reaches the location. GPS is the key concept in Place
Reminder.
• GPS The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based satellite navigation system that
provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the
earth.
➢ PLACE REMINDER AS A LBS

• Location-based services or LBS refer to applications which use the geographical position
of a mobile device in order to provide services. In it, a positioning component is usually
needed to determine the location of user's mobile device. Most of the current LBS
services do not require users to input location manually. It rather uses internet connection
and GPS provided by the smart phone manufacturer services to learn about the user’s
current location.

The examples of location-based services are:


1. Maps Navigation
2. Nearest Friends notification reminder
3. Marketing /Advertising
4. Place Reminder
5. Discovering nearest ATM or the nearest filling station.
➢WORKING

Necessary infrastructure elements:


1. Mobile devices - tools to access LBS services, to send requests and retrieve results.
e.g. laptops, mobile phones, etc.
2. Applications - the interface for users to access the LBS service.
3. Communication Network - the mobile network which transfers service request from
user to service provider, and requested information back to the user.
4. Positioning component - to determine the location of user's mobile device.
5. Service servers - these process service requests and send back request results.
Servers calculate positions, search for a route, or search specific information based on
user's position.

• There are two major phases:- • Obtaining the current location of the user. • Utilize the
obtained information to provide the user a specific service.
➢ The process of a LBS service:-

STEP 1- The user sends a service request using the application running
on mobile device.
STEP 2- The service request, with user's current location obtained from
the positioning component(here , GPS data) is sent to service server via
the mobile communication network.
STEP 3 and 4- The service server requests geographic database and
other related database to get required information.
STEP 5- The requested information is sent to user via mobile
communication network.
➢ ADVANTAGES

1. User friendly and flexible to use.


2. Compact in design.
3. Alert with music or with digital voice.
4. Vibrate when mobile is in silent mode.
5. Allows the user to set multiple tasks in the
same location.
➢ CONCLUSION
• We travel to so many locations that we generally forget which
location we are exiting and the important work we have to do
on that specified location.
• Place Reminder helps us to remember all those activities.
• It allows the user to set reminder on specific location by which
he/she can easily add the task to be performed on that
location. It is a very useful application through which the user
can perform their daily work efficiently and effectively.
